Savoy Hotel is Claiming to be the Most Eco-friendly Luxury Hotel in the City
The historic Savoy Hotel has reopened after three years of renovation, claiming to be the most eco-friendly luxury hotel in the city.
After a £200 million refurbishment project, the Savoy Hotel opened on Sunday with £2.4 million worth of green technology, which could reduce the hotel’s energy bills by up to 50 per cent and reward it with the title of London’s most environmentally responsible luxury hotel, according to management.
The energy efficient technologies and other improvements installed will result in a 40 per cent reduction in overall energy consumption and an annual carbon reduction of around 3,000 tonnes. In addition, 90 per cent of waste will be diverted from landfill, food waste turned into electricity, and a green procurement policy implemented. In keeping with its luxury standards, the hotel has added a dedicated Green Butler to the 25-strong butler team and offers a green stay package for guests.
